There are a lot of celebrities at Cannes–many of whom may or may not have any real reason to be there other than for photo opportunities. Nobody questions it, though. Which is why Psy’s apparent presence at the film festival didn’t raise a single eyebrow–even though it turned out it wasn’t even him.

We thought Julianne Moore looked as beautiful and radiant as ever gliding down yesterday’s Cannes opening ceremony red carpet in Dior. She was easily one of the evening’s best dressed and happiest-looking stars (despite the rain). Then, we noticed her feet.
A new fashion tribute to Elizabeth Taylor is in the works that will hopefully erase last fall’s Liz & Dick from our memories.
Read on for details of the Cannes AmfAR gala Carine Roitfeld is organizing.
All in the Name of “Art”: Artist Tyler Shields is no stranger to controversy, but Clint Eastwood’s daughter Francesca was – until she lit a Birkin bag on fire, worth a reported $100K, for Shields’ lens. The internet erupted in outrage over the waste, pushing Shields to offer $100,000 to a family in need. But was the bag even real?

Obviously, Karl Lagerfeld is up on his tawdry tabloid scandals.

Gwynnie and Kimmy Go Twinsies: Now that Kim K is dating Kanye, and making her way towards the inner circle of one Gwyneth Paltrow, we couldn’t help but notice that the two have started to make the same sartorial choices. We’re sure Gwyneth is thrilled.
Andre Leon Talley and Ralph Rucci Kriticize Kim Kardashian: Speaking of Miss K, fashion heavyweight Andre Leon Talley and designer Ralph Rucci spoke at SCAD this past weekend, where they weighed in on dressing “celebrities” like Kim. It got a little harsh.
Farewell, Kristen Wiig!: We will definitely miss Wiig’s arsenal of hilarious characters next season on SNL, but fret not – SNL has always nailed some of the funniest fashion impersonations out there. Champagne Versace Pockets for all my beautiful bitches!
